Battery Park is a lovely place to wander with its beautiful waterfront and flower gardens. For more than 200 years, it has been inextricably linked with New York City's history. American Indians fished from its banks, and the first Dutch settlers built a low, stone wall with cannons, a battery to protect the harbor and New Amsterdam. Today, it remains one of the oldest public open spaces in continuous use in New York City and includes 75,000 square feet of gardens designed by the internationally acclaimed Dutch horticulturist Piet Oudolf. This spring border highlights 2 wonderful flower bulbs: Tulip 'Estella Rijnveld' and Tulip 'Red Shine'.
